Welcoming in a New Year! 

I had a terrific 2011 full of amazing experiences. All I have to do is look back on my blog posts to see how terrific it was. I have new friends from around the world that I communicate with on a regular basis. The communication may be through wonderful social media options, email, or chat - it doesn't seem to matter how we communicate just as long as we do.

I have traveled far and away this year. Visiting many new places, sleeping in my car, staying in hotels and sleeping in friend's spare rooms. My daughter has brought me to and picked me up from the airport more times then she can count. Thanks Suzanne!

This will be the first time I celebrate the New Year away from home. Hard to image that I will be in Kathmandu, Nepal. I wonder what I did to celebrate? (I am post dating this blog so I don't know what the future brings.) I am sure it was terrific.

I will not be posting much in the next 5 weeks as I will be traveling through different parts of Asia. This is my first trip to this continent. I am excited!!! I packed light so I can move around easily. I am in good hands as my traveling companion, Mark, has traveled to many of the places we will go and is a doctor. Always good to have one nearby.

Hope to see many of you in 2012. You just never know where I will pop up next. Cheers!


This blog post was created by starting with a Hipsta capture using the Dream Canvas film of a white piece of paper. I then used Filterstorm to add the colors in the different tonalities. Next I used WordFoto. I finalized it with a simple frame in fxPhotoStudio.



The Last Pixel Show is now putting together their 2012 iPhone Photography workshop list and calendar.

After DynamicLight

Before DynamicLight

Here is another image from the Roslyn Run Car Show. This one was also processed with playful apps. The original capture was with Hipsta. I started processing with ToonPaint and also used WordFoto. I brushed the details of the face back in using Filterstorm.  Then I decided to post it. That was until I saw how dark in was on the big screen of my laptop. So I added brightness with DynamicLight. I believe the result was dramatic in both brightness and color.

Fascinated with Peeling Paint

Roslyn Peeling Paint

There was a old container parked in Roslyn that had the most fascinating peeling paint on it. I took several photos of it and will go back again to capture more.

Today I used Filterstorm to saturate the image,blended with the original. Next I added WordFoto and and blended again. Final touch was adding two different frames in Grungetastic.
